Just returned from a long trip northern Wisconsin to the Rio Grand and
back over spring break. Nice place to go birding if there are any westy
birders out there.

Oh, the VW content... I was surprised to see my mileage vary a great
deal between over the 3,800 mile trip. High was only 19mpg and the low
was 13.7mpg. Averaged around 16 mpg. Now we did drive a lot at 65 to 68
miles per hour and we did run into a good bit of head wind but I figured
we'd do better than that especially since it's a new engine with only
6,000 miles on it. Is this normal for an 84 westy automatic?

One other puzzle. Towards the end of the trip I pulled in for gas and
when I stopped and put the trans in netural the engine began reving up
and down between 1000 and 1800 rpm. Hasen't done it since so it really
has me puzzled. Any ideas?

TIA, Bob
